Moments before Rousey called for a confrontation with Toni Storm at Revolution, her long-time friend and fellow MMA expert Marina Shafir faced Storm in a match where everyone was barred from ringside. Storm emerged victorious in the bout, though Shafir quickly scored revenge by striking her from behind as security stepped between her and Rousey in the ring.
With Rousey and Shafir leaving Revolution in smiles, Jarrett assessed the possibility of Shayna Baszler, another MMA figure-turned-wrestler, joining them in AEW, specifically as an addition to The Death Riders.
“Boy, that’s a good question. Hey, never say never,” Jarrett said. “The reason I even had to pause there for a second was because when Marina got with [Jon] Moxley and crew, it just, to me, fit like a glove. And as a producer, creator, whatever it may be, I guess what I’m saying is I’m not sure that would be a benefit. Not saying you would have to put them together, but I don’t know where Baszler [would fit]. I don’t know if you’re assuming, loop them back together I don’t know if that’d be in their best interest. That’s kind of where my mind immediately went. Standalone, that’s a whole different question.”
Together alongside Jessamyn Duke, Rousey, Baszler, and Shafir are known as the Four Horsewomen of the MMA, with each also later competing in the wrestling world. For Shafir, the majority of her last two years have seen her aligned with The Death Riders, led by former AEW World Champion Jon Moxley. For Baszler, she remains a free agent in wrestling following her May 2025 release from WWE, though she continues to serve as a guest coach at the WWE Performance Center when available.
